How did the war with Athens make a difference in Sparta?
Sparta became temporarily the dominant power in mainland Greece. However the war had cost them a substantial loss of their citizens who made up the warrior class, and after a war with Thebes over 30 years later, their military strength had dwindled to a level where it ceased to be a major player in Greek affairs.
Spartans trained in the agoge daily. They fought their rivals in times of need.
What kind of economy did Sparta have?
The Spartan Economy was based off 3 classes of society Spartans, Perioci and Helots. Sparta did not have a coin system because of the division in social class in Greece, instead they traded in Iron Bars. The Helots role in society were that of the salves doing farm work, labouring, made to fight with sling shots in war, served whatever the Spartans asked of them and were kept in control by tyrannus methods such as the Krptaya (who were selected at the age of 18 being the elite of the military academy the Agoge).
Though the Spartans themselves did not trade with anyone the perioci who oversaw the Helots, coming from one of Sparta's Vassal States Lakonia who were were mastered in the arts and crafts being responsible for trading with other parts of Greece and throughout parts of the medditerrainean.
Although Spartans were responsible for the Military factors of Sparta, they were not for the Trade and were even I'll deposed towards foriegners, being the Kings who were responisble for the diplomacy between other nations.
Basically they're economy was that of the Barter Economy System

Can someone give me a brief summary about thebes and Sparta GREECE?
i can answer correctly only about Sparta. the town is heard for the first time from ancient Achaioi and its king Menelaos and his queen Helen of Troy, which is considered as the reason of the Troyan War. That era ended when Dorians came from the north and the new era starts. It is known as the Sparta of King Leonidas, as a very strict city where the Spartan's proffession is simply war ( ex. wars with the Persians), that era ends when Sparta is occupied by Alexander the great. in between there was the Peloponnesean war between Sparta and Athens and their allies and the defeat of Athens. Practically both of them lost. That is the reason why it was occupied by Alexander the great sice they were coming from a 30-year-old war. Long after Macedonians came the Romans and I think that is very very shortly the history of Sparta. Thebes is a city with common background as Sparti. it is close to Athens and it was one of their rivals In about 379/8 bc Thebes broke free of Spartan oppression and undertook a war with Sparta in that ultimately led to Sparta's fall, after which Sparta allied with Athens and waged war with Thebes and brought Thebes back down.

Why don't people do things the way the Spartans did?
Well, organising a city for a permanent state of readiness for invasion was quite a feat on the Spartans' side. BUT, the popular report doesn't generally include the Helots. The Helots were the slaves (they were the local populace, the nobles and free men being invaders), every year, in order to stop them rebelling against the iron fisted rule of the Spartans, the Ephors (9 elders) would declare war on the Helots. Helots were treated worse than the dirt on the sole of your shoe, would you want to be one? Also, the children had to go through the agoge, or training, a sort of tough love initiation into the Spartan world. Children were gathered together into 'packs' and left to fend for themselves. They were given no clothes until the age of 15, when they were allowed a cloak, nothing more. They had to sleep outside in the freezing cold, even in winter, and made blankets out of moss and leaves. They were so cold, children puit thorns into their blankets to make them have the illusion of warmth as they were stung and pricked in their sleep. Would you honestly like to do that?
I severly doubt that in this day and age of human rights etc that a Spartan society would not be annexed from the rest of the world and invaded. Not a very good plan...
